hi, I apologize if this is elsewhere but I am a newbie. I want to use ruby rails! So I have bought a license, seeing the info that I'll be getting 7 also. I thought 7 had ruby/rails but I found out that only selena has it. So I now have three large versions of intellij on my mac and no ruby/rails plugin. I did download the Ruby_4352.jar and I tried putting it into the appSupport directory, to no avail. Here are my questions;

[]how do I uninstall the 2 extra versions?

[]how do I get the latest ruby plugin to be seen and useable? Currently when I open up Selena-7274.app with the latest jar in my app support, it says "installed ruby incompatible". And when I remove it from that directory it says nothing for ruby under installed -nor- under available.

Ruby plugin always compatible only with the latest EAP (which is frustrating, especially when plugin developers can't make an update for some time). Download it from http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/IDEADEV/Selena+EAP . Go to Settings->Plugins, switch to Available tab and find Ruby plugin. Right-click on it, Download and Install, restart IDEA.

ps. it's also better to try software first, because I wouldn't say that Ruby support in IDEA is the best at the moment.

>[]how do I get the latest ruby plugin to be seen and useable? At the current moment the latest Ruby Plugin(Ruby_4352.jar) isn't compatible with Selena-7274. But you may download the previous Selena EAP(http://download.jetbrains.com/idea/idea7269.dmg).

>[]how do I uninstall the 2 extra versions?You can delete corresponding idea's *.app from Applications folder. If you want to use Selena and copletely remove IDEA 6 you should also delete your Idea 6 settings and caches:Config: ~/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIDEA60System: ~/Library/Caches/IntelliJIDEA60Plugins: ~/Library/Application Support/IntelliJIDEA60
